Historic District
In 1984 , Dayton View was registered on the National Register of Historic Places, Broadway, Harvard Blvd., Superior and Salem Aves. (No. 84003787).[2] City of Dayton Ordinance #25552.[3]
History
The area’s style and layout should be credited to the vision of James Oliver Arnold, whose farm house still stands at the northwest corner of Superior and Arnold. The original portion of the farmhouse dates to 1832 . James Arnold envisioned a grand neighborhood of broad, tree-lined streets graced with large, impressive homes set back comfortably from the street. Reforestation efforts following the loss of Arnold’s distinctive elm trees are reviving Arnold’s dream.
Architecture
Dayton View includes houses of many architectural styles, such as Victorian, Jacobethan, and Chateauesque. This district is home to large wealthy houses with wide staircases, third-story ballrooms, and carriage houses, and it is also well known for its richness and economic and cultural diversity. The timeline of the architecture style is dated from the late 1880's through the 1920's. Dayton View, however, is listed for Late Victorian and Colonial Revival
